Porsche 911 GT3 Touring, if only one remains

2021-08-06T14:45:16.677Z


TEST - Under a silhouette and a finish imbued with sobriety, this version of the sportiest 911 delivers sensations that bring us closer to automotive nirvana.


Too intimidating the last 911 GT3 type 992 with its imposing rear spoiler overhanging the bonnet?

Porsche has thought of you and, like the previous generation, is offering a Touring version without this aerodynamic appendage.

Choose a neutral color and you'll feel like you're going incognito.

Although the perforated shields, the front cover in plastic reinforced with carbon fibers and decked out with air intakes as well as the widened tracks housing an oversized pneumatic assembly will hardly deceive its world.

To discover

  • What responsibility at the wheel of an “autonomous car”?

Porsche

Developed by engineers from the Motorsport division, the GT3 derives directly from the RSR racing model from Le Mans.

It borrows its front axle with double transverse arms, for the benefit of redoubled efficiency in support.

Add the steerable rear wheels and particularly direct steering and you have a 911 that hangs on the trajectory, defying the laws of physics.

Porsche

As always with Porsche, the braking deserves nothing but praise.

It sits on 408mm diameter discs at the front, 380mm at the rear.

At least this device was needed to stop this 911 powered by the latest evolution of the atmospheric 4-liter flat-six.

A bewitching sound

Porsche

Raised to 510 hp, this mechanism deserves to be awarded.

From 5,000 rev / min, she falls off the mask and changes her voice.

It has a phenomenal length, up to 9,000 rpm.

Driving pleasure is at the height of efficiency, prodigious.

Admittedly, the Touring is a little less efficient than its sister on a circuit but the sensations, to make you dizzy, are identical.

It remains to choose the transmission.

To the performance-oriented 7-speed PDK gearbox, purists will prefer the 6-speed manual gearbox resuscitating an old-fashioned pleasure that will soon be over since the days of combustion engines are numbered.
